You are considering buying a 10-year-old machine for $280, or a new fuel-efficient machine for$600. The new machine will save you $5 per month on your fuel bill, and you will be able to sellit for $300 in 10 years. The used machine will have no resale value at that time. Assume theinterest rate is 3% per year. According to the information given, which machine will you buy?
A company is considering buying a new piece of equipment for $40,000. It is expected
to save $12,000 per year for the next 10 years and have a salvage value of $2,000 at
the end of 10 years. The machine will require a one-time rehab for $10,000 after 5
years. If the MARR is 10% per year compounded yearly, should the company by the
machine?
6.33 Liquid Sleeve, Inc. is a company that makes a
sealing solution for machine shaft surfaces that
have been compromised by abrasion, high pres-
sures, or inadequate lubrication. The manager is
considering adding a metal-based nanoparticle
(Type Al or Fe) to its solution to increase the prod-
uct's performance at high temperatures. The costs
associated with each type are estimated. If the
company's MARR is 20% per year, which nanopar-
ticle type should the company select? Utilize a rate
of return analysis.

- Calumet Electronics purchased a device for $75,000 four years ago (existing device). The company is considering purchasing a new device, that will cost $92,000. Assume the company has a MARR of 12% per year, compounded annually. The new device can be purchased for $92,000 with annual operating and maintenance expenses of $1,184 per year. At the end of 4 years, the company can sell the new device for $45,678. The new device also requires a one-time expense of $2,791 at the end of year 4 to install new software prior to selling it. What is the equivalent uniform annual cost of the new device if it is kept in service for 4 years?arrow_forwardA generator is purchased on the basis of guaranteed performance.

- A company is considering the purchase of a generating set to supply the electrical needs of his office during brownouts. The generating set costs P 70,000 with a life of 10 years with a salvage value of P 10,000. The daily operating cost is P 50 per hour. During a brownout, the office operation will be delayed which cause a loss of P 150 per hour. At 18% interest rate, how frequent( in number of hours per year ) is the brownout to justify the purchase of the generator set?arrow_forwardThe city of Oak Ridge is considering the construction of a four kilometer (km) greenway walking trail.
